Photos: The 1940s World War II Era Ball was a direct hit

Men in fedoras and women in pencil skirts took over the Boulder County Airport Saturday night for the fifth annual 1940s Era World War II Ball . Guests danced the night away to '40s swing music as vintage airplanes from the period helped set the mood. To top the night off, guests even competed in a pin-up contest.

Westword photographer Christopher Morgan had no problem finding people willing to pose for a quick snapshot in their best '40s fashions. To see all of the photos, visit the 1940s WWII Era Ball slide show, and keep reading for a few highlights.
